The orc was about to reach the succubus, who threw her arm up and flinched away in a useless defensive gesture. It roared with rage, preparing to bring the axe down, when suddenly an arrow drove into the back of its neck. It fell to the ground, shocked out of its blind rage that had taken its attention away from its other enemies. Slowly, a formless shadow emerged from the creature, rose several feet into the air, and dissipated. Then the orc was dead.
The succubus Kilisha fought, seeing that she was now alone, started to back off in hopes of escaping. Kilisha pressed her at first, then realized what had transpired and allowed her to break free. Before the succubus had run far, though, Kilisha readied her bow and fired an arrow into her back. The succubus stumbled forward a few more steps, then fell to the floor.
The sorceress looked down at the fallen orc for a moment, then nervously at the mercenaries, hoping they wouldn't set upon her next.
